UCF Assistant Professor Jaesung Lee is collaborating with the University of Florida to develop and refine a magnetic levitation system that could help improve the performance of inertia sensors for a wide variety of applications such as accelerometers or gyroscopes.

To help address the teacher shortage, the funding will support 40 educators earning master’s degrees at UCF over the next five years, with the first cohort starting this fall.

U.S. News & World Report‘s 2025 Best Colleges list recognizes UCF for its excellence in innovation, student success and undergraduate education.

The investment includes $2.5 million for a real-life pediatric nursing training unit at UCF’s Dr. Phillips Nursing Pavilion and $2.5 million for an interdisciplinary research impact fund.

UCF has been working on smart city concepts for years and is now partnering to help turn those concepts into a “digital infrastructure” to ensure the quality of life in greater Orlando well into the future.

The innovative space offers state-of-the-art tools for Knights who need to capture videos, a new headshot and record podcasts.

The two-hour show will be filmed on campus before the Knights take on the Colorado Buffaloes at 3:30 p.m. on Sept. 28.

The change is intended to increase interdisciplinary research and partnership at UCF while furthering its reputation for excellence in modeling and simulation.

The work could change the future of electronics, making them faster and more energy efficient.
